THE PRESIDENTS COMING VISIT.
A Washington special to the New York Times
concerning the Presidents Western trip. says:"At
Indianapolis, the first stop to be made, the Pres
ident will not 60 to any hotel, but upon leaving
his train will take ride over a route including
the principal streets of the city. and will after
ward hold reception at the State house. at
Terre Haute, where the stay will be very short,
the people will see the President in carriage as
he is driven from his train through the city and
back again. He has become convinced by re-
cent experience that il there can be any gratif-
cation TO any considerable number of people to
look the Chief Magistrate, that curiosity can
be better satisfied by a drive through a crowd
than it can by ompelling the crowd TO accumu-
late about a platform in even the most ample
space" A special effort will be made to have
every one on the line of march decorate the
day of the Presidents visit.
